Andrew 1DA and David 1DD at the controls of VK1ACA55 viewsThis was a publicity photo for the Canberra Times, showing two younger members of the Canberra Radio Society operating the club station VK1ACA, in the leadup to the Canberra Easter Radio Convention, which the club ran each year for about 10 years in the 60s and alternate years in the 70s.

Operating position35 viewsThis shows where I placed the IC910H for this event. You can just see the coax cables routed over the sun visor and above the door to the rear window. Another photo shows the cables entering the car through the window. Simple and low tech.

A kit for a Collins 75A4 receiver65 viewsThe explanatory documentation states that a number of 75A4 receivers were built by Collins staff, who knew how to put them together and were able to buy the critical components and hardware as spares from Collins. I don't know what happened with this auction. Someone may have a big job on their hands. However if it is finished they will have a very good receiver, albeit a big and heavy one, with tubes.
